A soldier ran up to Aiken and handed her a netpad. Her eyes grew wide. Meanwhile, the Collector’s hand continued to move across a dying landscape.

‘Sire?’ said Aiken.

‘What is it? Can’t you see a great artist is at work?’ hissed William, not looking away from his canvas.

‘I think you’ll want to see this.’

William spun around with eyes aflame. ‘This had better be …’

Aiken held up the netpad.

In the recording, a young woman chased a hooded boy along a city street, her hair flying wild behind her.

‘What am I looking at?’ William growled impatiently.

‘Any second now, sire,’ Aiken said. She fast-forwarded until a blaze of light appeared to shine out from the girl’s forehead, fading to reveal … a bright white horn!

William’s eyes widened. He went to speak, but he was spellbound as he watched the girl move faster than it seemed possible, launching herself at the boy, then kicking him to the pavement.

As everyone looked on in disbelieving silence, the girl stood over the boy, said something that the audio couldn’t pick up, then fled.

‘Is … is that real?’ whispered William.

‘By all reports,’ said Aiken.

‘No tricks? No digital tomfoolery?’
